Now what to do about the excessive funds their taking over and above the taxes.
I figure by the end of my 5 year term, there will be over 3k in excess funds in this tax account, assuming taxes stay the same.

Is this a federal or CMHC rule? Or bank dependent. I had to submit to this for mortgage that barely covered 30% of the value.vkizzle wrote: ↑See below, which probably explains why some of you where not allowed to opt out!
"If your mortgage is High Ratio(Less than 20% down payment) you must continue to pay your property taxes with your mortgage as the bank is required to ensure your property taxes up to date. If your mortgage is conventional(20% down payment or more) you may wish to pay your property taxes by yourself. Please visit a TD branch close to you and an Advisor will help you in confirming the details specific to your mortgage and if needed change the mortgage payment options to be paid by you directly instead of the bank. Alternatively you may speak to a Mortgage Advisor over the phone by calling Easyline at 1-866-222-3456 available 24/7."

This must be a bank rule. My cousin recently purchased his first home with only 8% down. His mortgage is with RBC and he is paying property taxes separately as he declined when offered by the Mortgage broker to have it combined with mortgage payments.vkizzle wrote: ↑See below, which probably explains why some of you where not allowed to opt out!
